122938 - Browser opens the link when trying to edit the properties of a bookmark.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 86468

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Dan Naumov]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8+)
Gecko/20020130
BuildID:    2002013003

Sometimes (not always), when you first left-click on the bookmark to select and
then right-click on it to get the pull-down menu, the browser opens the link
mentioned in the bookmark instead of giving you the pull-down menu. This
however, can be avoiding by right-clicking directly on a bookmark whose
properties you wish to edit. This isn't how it is supposed to be, afaik, since
it only appeared in newer nightly builds after the 0.9.8 release.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Bookmarks / Manage Bookmarks...
2. Left-click on an item to select it
3. Right-click on the same bookmark.

Actual Results:  Sometimes, the browser opens the link of the bookmark.

Expected Results:  Give you a drop-down menu with the ability to edit the
Bookmark's properties, Open in New Window, etc.

This bug also appeared on several previous nightly builds. Unfortunately, I
haven't been able to test this issue under other OS'es like Linux so I don't
know whether this bug is win32build-only or not.
